Overview of Change
Type of ECP: EXPEDITED STANDARD
Type of Change: TECHNICAL COST SCHEDULE EDITORIAL
(Check all that Apply)
Reason for Change:
To provide relaxation of tolerances to improve machining and inspection times as a result of technical meetings held at MTM the week of January 3, 2006. Project has determined these changes will have no impact on performance, but should assist MTM in improving schedule performance. EIO/MTM to provide schedule improvement impacts in early February and will be the subject of a future rebaselining ECP (ECP-043).
Impacted WBS Elements: 14
Impacts of Change (Briefly Describe): See detailed list of changes.
Does this Change Impact Material Already Procured or Parts/Assemblies Already Assembled/Manufactured using this Material: Yes No
If “Yes”, what is the recommended disposition of this material/part/assembly?
Changes will apply to remaining Type C castings and Type A and B castings. Type C-1 and C-2 not impacted by these changes and will be used as received.
Assessment of Other Options: Considered not relaxing tolerances, but analysis by Project indicated that these tolerances could be relaxed without sacrificing performance

c. RFD-14-012 (Relaxation of Tolerances on Remaining Type C Castings)
d. RFD-14-013 (Change to C-4 through C-6 Flange Seats from a Spherical Seat to a Counterbore Seat)
Description of Change:
Revised technical requirements to improve machining and inspection times as a result of technical meetings held at MTM the week of January 3, 2006. Changes were made to the following sections of the CSPEC and SOW:
(1) CSPEC Changes:
· Section 3.1.1.4 (Surface Finish) – Changed and clarified surface finish requirements in the “wing” area to permit “scalloping”. New Figure 3-1 added to shows “scalloping” permitted in the “wing” area.
· 3.1.1.5.3 (Relative Magnetic Permeability of Winding Form Bearing Plate) - added to reflect relaxed permeability requirements for bearing plates per approved RFD-14-011.
· Section 3.1.1.8 (Inspection for Internal Defects in the High Stress Areas) - modified to remove requirement for RT in combination with UT inspection – now either RT or UT inspection is satisfactory.
· Section 4.2.2.5 (Weld Filler Material) – provided alternate method (by supplier or material supplier) to verify weld filler material properties.· Section 4.2.5.3 (Verification of Relative Magnetic Permeability for Machined Surfaces) – simplified verification requirements.
· Section 4.2.6 (Verification of Dimensions and Tolerances) – revised and clarified verifications for all cast and machined surfaces.
o Clarified the verification methods acceptable to perform dimensional and tolerances checks for cast surfaces.
o Machined surfaces shall be checked in a defined pattern provided NCSX for all of the remaining winding forms. Drawings will be updated and included in Table 6-1, Table 6-2, and Table 6-3 to reflect this guidance.
o The revised pattern to verify the ground clear space dimension in Figure 7-5 is acceptable.

Continuation Sheet:
(Use Continuation Sheets and/or Attach Information/Sketches, As Needed)
o The revised pattern to verify the ground clear space dimension in Figure 7-5 is acceptable.
o Dimensional verification by CMM of the poloidal break bushing holes and break flanges is waived with Rev. 11 of this document. In lieu of this, a 0.002 inch “no-go” feeler gauge or pin gauge shall be used to verify that the fit-up of the polodial break flanges and bushings do not exceed this dimension.
· Table 6-3 has been added to show the list of revised STEP files since Revision 10 to this CSPEC.
· List of approved RFDs now shown in Table 6-4.
· Added Section 7.2 (Appendix B) and Figure 7-5 to show T-Base Grinding Template
· Added Section 7.3 (Appendix C) to show inspection point details.
(2) SOW Change:
· Revised Section 5.4.3 to remove reference to “inspection grid.”
